Re: Reconstruction question

Hi Carolyn ~
I have implants and no problems...I weight train, pilates and do pretty much everything else including scuba diving in which your strapped in with a heavy weight on you. The radiated side with the implant does feel different and is definitely tighter but there is no fat around it so it is bound to. The filling process is what feels like you're in an iron bra or two rocks on your chest but once the expander is out and implant is in it no longer feels like that. I'm happy with my results!
PM me for more questions anytime if you need to.
Hugs ~ Ruth
